Thursday night, the Bisons defeated Henderson State 73-60, evening their GSC record at 4-4. They needed to win that one, since it’s arguably their easiest conference game, and the schedule only gets tougher from this point forward. Kevin Brown and Trent Morgan each had 19 points, although Morgan required 18 shots to get to his […]

Reddies topple Bisons for first D-II win
That was not a good start to the conference season, to say the least. Henderson State was 1-10 heading into last night’s 76-71 win over the Bisons, and the win was against Philander Smith. Anything can happen on a given night, but Bison fans would have to have expected a win here if the team […]
Gulf South Conference Preview 2008-2009
These previews will be in descending order, using the team’s 2007-08 net efficiency, which I think is the best metric of overall team quality. Christian Brothers 2007-2008 Record: 22-10 Net Efficiency: +13.5 The Bucs have some significant losses: perennial star forward Kevin Weybright, starting guard Justin Ray, and reserve guard Roberto Casiano. Weybright is a […]
Making the GSC Tournament: Possible Scenarios
The Bisons cut down the nets after last night’s game, since it was the first time in the 50-year history of the program that the Harding men finished tied for a conference (or really the division) championship. They still have some work to do, though, if they want to win a GSC Championship and make […]
Overtime loss, televised win make for an exciting weekend
Arkansas Tech 87, Harding 82 (OT) [TABLE=94] It doesn’t get much more simple than this: had Harding taken care of the basketball in the last few minutes of regulation and in overtime, they would be 10-2 and have clinched at least a tie for the division lead. Despite a solid all-around shooting performance (even with […]
National TV shows Bisons (and Harding) at their best
I’ll have stats for you on Monday, but I wanted to go ahead and share a few thoughts about the TV coverage of this afternoon’s 72-59 home win over Henderson State. CSTV was incredibly kind to Harding and the fans on-air, making repeated comments about the quality of Harding’s student body, the spirited crowd, and […]
Weekend in Review: Bisons lose their first GSC game
Arkansas Tech 64, Harding 60 Thursday night’s game was a battle between GSC West unbeatens, and Arkansas Tech edged Harding in Searcy, 64-60. The Wonder Boys have emerged this year as a very good team because of their strong backcourt of Darren Tarver and Terrance Whiters. Add a handful of efficient role players, and it’s […]
GSC Predictions 2007-2008
I’ve used this space a lot over the past few years to throw out opinions about D-II basketball, but I try to emphasize that the prediction game is an awfully tough one to play. At the Division-II level, many of the players are either total unknowns or washed-up former high-school, JC, and even D-I stars […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Henderson State
The HSU webmaster finally found it necessary to post the roster for this year’s Reddies squad, so I guess I’ll also take some time and preview their season. What worked for Henderson State in 2007: Getting down and dirty on defense. Despite all the recent coaching and player turnover at Henderson State, the Reddies really […]
